MANAGER

Registered Manager

Children’s Residential Home (EBD / LD)

Location: Solihull (B28)
Salary: £65,000 – £70,000 per year (experience dependent)
4-bed home | 2 young people already in place | Ofsted-registered

You’ll be taking the reins of a 4-bed EBD/LD home in Solihull; a settled, well-supported service with two young people already placed and an organisation behind it that believes good outcomes come from strong leadership, good systems and the right culture. This isn’t a home starting from scratch. It’s a home that now needs someone with experience, insight and a genuine belief in child-centred practice to shape what comes next.

What makes this role special is the backing you get. Senior leaders are present, knowledgeable and invested. They know the regulatory landscape inside out and they’re looking for a manager who can match that level of professionalism, while also leading with compassion and clarity. You’ll walk into a role where your judgement is trusted and your expertise is respected.

What you’ll be leading

  • Providing confident, values-led leadership in a 4-bed EBD/LD children’s home

  • Overseeing the full running of the service in line with the Children’s Homes Regulations 2015 and Quality Standards

  • Leading safeguarding practice, reporting and multi-agency coordination

  • Building, supporting and developing a purposeful staff team

  • Guiding high-quality care planning, assessments and day-to-day routines

  • Maintaining inspection readiness in a way that feels structured and achievable

  • Working closely with SEN teams, social workers, health professionals and families

  • Keeping the focus on progress, emotional wellbeing and meaningful outcomes

What you’ll bring

  • Level 5 Diploma in Leadership & Management for Residential Childcare (or working towards completion)

  • Experience working in an Ofsted-regulated home for at least six months

  • Confident involvement in Ofsted inspections — able to share URNs, outcomes and learning

  • Strong understanding of EBD/LD practice and how to bring staff with you

  • Leadership that blends empathy, clarity and high expectations

  • Professional curiosity and an organised, thoughtful approach

  • Full UK driving licence

What’s on offer

  • £65,000 TO £70,000 salary depending on experience

  • Strong senior leadership support with practical, informed guidance

  • A settled home with young people already part of the routine

  • Full head office support across HR, compliance, training and operations

  • Career development opportunities as the organisation continues to grow

  • A provider that values consistency, transparency and professional integrity

Why this role stands out

You’ll be stepping into a home that already has solid ground beneath it; two young people in place, supportive staff, and a senior team who are present and invested in your success. This is a role for a manager who wants to grow a home thoughtfully, with the confidence that the organisation is behind them.

There’s room here to build something long-lasting; to lead with heart and skill, and to help shape the culture of a service that has the potential to be outstanding in every sense.
